Great… Today is the LAST day of 2019. Happy new year everyone. How time flies!!! Let’s welcome a fresh and fruitiful 2020. Due to my ENDLESS jet lag and this fabulous edge computing single board computer Khadas VIM3, I’m writing this blog in such early morning.
1. About Khadas VIM3
Khadas VIM3 is a super computer based on Amlogic A311D. Before we start, let’s carry out two simple comparisons.
1.1 Raspberry Pi 4 Model B vs. Khadas VIM3 vs. Jetson Nano Developer Kit
Please refer to hackerboards comparisons.
1.2 Amlogic S912 vs Amlogic A311D
Please refer to cnx-software embedded system news.
2. Ubuntu XFCE for Khadas VIM3
Let’s try out Ubuntu XFCE on Khadas VIM3.
